MODERATORS
May I ask what do you guys have exposed to the internet?
I personally just have a wireguard VPN (single UDP port open) and everything is accessible through an internal reverse proxy. I just never felt the need to expose nothing ant least not web related.
One thing I need to publicly expose is my own instance of Mealie. It's a recipe manager that supports multiple users. I share it with family and friends, but also with more distant acquaintances. I don't want to have to provide and manage access to my network for each and every one of them.
What made you pick Mealie over other stuff like Nextcloud Cookbook or Grocy or whatnot?
I've never heard of NextCloud Cookbook before. Looking at its Github page, it says it's "mostly for testers" and is unstable, so no point in even considering it for regular use at this point in time. Besides, I'm assuming you'd need to have your own instance of Nextcloud up and running to use it; I don't use Nextcloud.
As for Grocy and other more mature alternatives (Tandoori also comes to mind), I think I initially went with Mealie because it had the most pleasant UI out of all of them. I liked it and found that it satisfied all of my requirements, so I just kept using it.
I have Jellyfin and Jellyseerr open through cloudflare -> nginx over port 443 so i can share it with friends. Eventually I'll do the same with NextCloud probably.
Video streaming is against Cloudflare policies, aren't you worried that they'll may block your account?
Hmm I thought if I set it up to not cache data it would be fine, but it turns out that was outdated data. I don't see an option for paying for it unless I host media specifically on their servers which I won't be doing.
I doubt I'll be using a significant amount of data but if they give me a warning I'll have to turn off the tunnel I suppose. Thanks for the question!
Just Navidrome for music streaming.
That’s exactly how I have my setup, and on my client WireGuard configs I have it set to split route so I can connect to my home VPN without disrupting anything else.
I expose self-hosted bitwarden for my family to access through cloudflared tunnels and only allowing US IP via cloudlfare rules. Only the webUI is exposed and traffic has to go through cloudflare and nginx to be able to do anything.
a lot of stuff:
than i have stuff only accessible from local, like the *arr stack.
i'm not using cloudflare or anything, should I?
the only exposed ports i have are http / https and a random port for ssh.
i also don't use any sso... maybe i should set one up.
KitchenOwl, and a Matrix server and Element web interface.
